Strength and reversibility of movement stereotypes for lever control and circular display

The interaction of people with equipment and machinery is mainly achieved through a two-way exchange of information via displays and controls, demanding information processing and decision-making skills. Results from the various configurations of lever control and circular display studied in detail here led to recommendations about design features that are important for control panel interface design, and for prediction of the effects of design on user behavior. The recommendations on compatible interface designs should result in more rapid response times and fewer errors.
